Live streaming coverage of the Universiade - link

There is actually quite good coverage of all the sports at the World Student Games online.  You need to register, but it is free of charge - the link is www.livefisu.tv

The men's team final coverage begins at 11.20 am today (British time).  Start lists for the competition are here.  I'm guessing that this is the final subdivision only, with the Russians beginning on parallel bars.  Sadly, the Ukrainian team - looks pretty strong to me - goes in the penultimate subdivision - but the competition looks relatively deep and could be interesting.

Breaking news - Stretovich in, Ignatyev out

Valentina Rodionenko earlier today confirmed that Ivan Stretovich will take the place of Nikita Ignatyev on the main Russian gymnastics team.  19 year old Stretovich, from Novosibirsk, Siberia, is Russian Cup champion on the pommel horse and high bar.  His first major senior competition was the 2014 World Championships where he performed on pommels only.  Stretovich was originally selected as a reserve and the decision to bring him onto the main team was based on his superior performance quality compared to Ignatyev, according to Rodionenko.
